atomic energy of canada limited

I don't know how much ("taxpayers"/public) R&D money was invested in AECL since the 1940s, but in 2011 its technology sold for a mere $15 million, plus 15 years of royalties, which could net a return of ... (as much as!) ... $285 million.

In 2009 alone, it received $651 million in federal support. Optics: someone got a sweet deal. And it wasn't Linda Keen, the president of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission or any nuclear remediation people. I await the Canadian Taxpayers Federation report on this debacle.

Candu reactor, "CANada Deuterium Uranium"

Predictions. CBC is kind of a Crown Corporation, so it will go to Quebecor for $1.75. Canada Post, au revoir. The Bank of Canada and Royal Canadian Mint will get sucked into the U.S. Federal Reserve vortex of Fraser Institology um, City of London mergerness. Canadian Museum of Civilizational History, almost fini ($25 million). Military Museums, who knows, just say yay! illegal settlements, fait accompli. The Young Royals and The Baby will make many appearances during times of comet tails, Jesus, and Heavens to Betsy what's-her-name will look like a nice brunette Mary and madonna, just like a Warhol suddenly is on the Sotheby's market with #99. The U.S. will default on its debt, so the wars will be free!

That's how Minister Flaherty will balance his books, with fire sales.

Cute panda real fur ear muffs and shark fins and clearcut recruit all fancy bamboo forest with stylishness and lucky wholesale ivory buddha, delicious trinket. But enough of that. There's more about Malaysia.

简体中文 and drugs etc.

So, the Canadian cheap drug guy (Andrew Strempler), who sells affordable medication to internet Americans and so on, was arrested. So many words floating around with it: generic, counterfeit, affordable, RxNorth, CanadaDrugs.com, Pharmacheck, Mediplan Pharmacy.

There are other companies named in the subpoena, and other drugs besides Teva Pharmaceutical's Adderall XR (ADHD) that university students like so much, e.g., cancer drugs, Avastin and Altuzan, or Ritalin. This was weird. A chemical simply ... popped inside a refrigerator.

Naeja Pharmaceutical explosion - 7/26/2011 (CTV)

The FDA first warned in February that a counterfeit supply of the widely-used Avastin had turned up in the U.S. The Wall Street Journal has traced that supply through a network of firms in Canada, Barbados, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Switzerland, Egypt and Turkey.

nestlé, plastic, water, uranium

And fuggetabout estrogenic agents like Bisphenol A (BPA) or chickmen, chickfrogs, and chickfish. It's true: “Everyone is aware of the role Nestlé plays in privatization of water and baby formula, and it will reflect back on the university,” he told the Journal.

So that's why an honorary degree for Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, chairman and former CEO of the Nestlé corporation, from the University of Alberta kinda... stinks, especially after the dean of medicine's plagiarism scandal last year.

Grand Canyon National Park

On an up note, uranium mining was banned around Grand Canyon National Park, for 20 years, and the park is banning the sale of plastic water bottles, after a year reviewing objections by Coca Cola/Dasani.

The new restrictions take effect within 30 days, and follow the example of Utah's Zion National Park,... Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, which offers water stations...  (Feb 8, 2012: USA Today)

Whitebark pines

Oh, federal budget, entire endangered species program gets less money than the cost of a single F-14. (Feb 19, 2012: Summit County Citizens Voice, Colorado)

Update: April 30, 2013. "Grand Canyon uranium mining set to go ahead despite ban from Obama" Canadian Energy Fuels Resources has been given federal approval to reopen its old Canyon Mine, located six miles south of the canyon's popular South Rim entrance, that attracts nearly 5 million visitors a year.

rhinos, desmond tutu 2/2, china & a no tibetan b-day party guest

China put some pressure on the South African government of Jacob Zuma. Desmond Tutu invited His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama to his 80th birthday party.The Dalai Lama had to cancel, no entry visa. Desmond Tutu about it: video.

Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe tried to tamp down the dispute, telling The Star newspaper that South Africa was ready to grant the Dalai Lama a visa when the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader decided to cancel the trip. source

Also, recently, South African 'Groenewald Gang' expected in court tomorrow (Sept 29, 2011) from Rhino Horn is Not Medicine and more about illegal trade:

Summer Anubises, Jackal-Heads and Grain Flail, Not

The temporary Denver International Airport Anubis, at which there's now a measles advisory, grasps a candy cane. It was delivered summer 2010 after Hudson River Anubis. Maybe it's supposed to be whimsical? Christmas-y? Santa Claus Anubis? Death, funerary, pepperminty... embalming Happy & Friendly Anubis? Jesus manger, A Barber Shop or Candy Crook Shepherd Anubis. Arthritic Anubis. Hey! GMO Sugar BeetBeat Agricultural Anubis. MMR Polio Sugar Cube Anubis. I don't get it.

Flail is to nunchaku (nun chucks) as ploughshare is to sword.  Ptolemaic period: Anubis merged with the Greek god Hermes (Hermanubis). Flail is to Anubis as candy cane is to ______.
